I'd really prefer to keep the ability contained to one unit

If you are willing to dig through the xcomAI.ini, you can disable the AI tree that tells them to use poison spit.

It takes a bit of editing so you'll spend at least a few minutes doing it, but you can disable it if you really dislike them using the poison.

It looks like the sidewinder shares the same tree with the viper so I don't think there's anyway to remove the sidewinder's ability without removing it for the viper too

No, it had a seperate tree when I went in it. Its very far near the bottom, as the vanilla trees are at the top and modded trees are at the bottom.

What I mean is that it has a separate tree, but there's nothing in there to govern poison spit. I believe it uses

Code: Select all

ViperRedAlert
to govern it's poison spit which is shared with the viper

Code: Select all

; Same as Viper
+Behaviors=(BehaviorName="LWSidewinderRoot", NodeType=Selector, Child[0]=TryJob, Child[1]=GenericGreenMovement, Child[2]=ViperRedAlert, Child[3]=GenericAlertHandler)
